Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 Drops Soulful First Song ‘Ve Junoon’
Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 has released its first song “Ve Junoon,” sung by newcomer Subodhh Sharma and composed by Mithoon.
Emraan Hashmi’s “Awarapan 2” has taken its first real musical step. Vishesh Films has released the film’s opening track, “Ve Junoon,” and along with it, introduced a completely new voice to Bollywood.
What Ve Junoon is about
The song follows Shivam Pandit, the character Hashmi plays, as he wrestles with fear, heartbreak, and doubt about whether love was ever meant for him. It leans into longing rather than spectacle, which tracks with the emotional register the original “Awarapan” built its reputation on back in 2007.
Who’s behind the track
Composer Mithoon and lyricist Sayeed Quadri are back together for this one, the same pair responsible for some of the original film’s most remembered songs. Singing it is Subodhh Sharma, a sound engineer with over a decade of studio experience who had never recorded a film song before this.
His path to the mic wasn’t the usual one. Producer Vishesh Bhatt stumbled on an Instagram reel of Sharma singing and brought him on board from there. Bhatt said the song “is the result of that brilliance, elevated by Subodhh’s voice” — high praise for someone making his soundtrack debut.
When Awarapan 2 releases
The film opens in cinemas worldwide on August 14, 2026. Nitin Kakkar directs, Bilal Siddiqi wrote it, and alongside Hashmi, the cast includes Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, Suvinder Vicky, Vijayant Kohli, Atul Kumar and Aniruddh Rawal.
How the song is landing
“Ve Junoon” arrives a week after the film’s teaser topped YouTube’s trending chart. That teaser dropped on June 29, timed to the original “Awarapan’s” 19th anniversary, and a lot of viewers online have called it a genuine callback rather than nostalgia for its own sake.
What’s next
With the first song out, the focus shifts to the rest of the soundtrack and whatever promotional push comes before August. Given how tightly the original film’s identity is wrapped up in its music, this next stretch probably matters as much as the film itself.
“Ve Junoon” doesn’t announce “Awarapan 2” loudly, it eases into it, and it hands the franchise’s first real moment to someone who’s never sung on a film soundtrack before. Whether Subodhh Sharma’s debut sticks the way the original’s songs did depends on what the rest of the album brings before the film lands on August 14.
